Well, my recliner is still here by the fireplace, and that special pillow that Semi had made for the Space Ranger is still hanging behind the bar...
And aren't these the brandy snifters that Harbinger used that night we caused the space-time continuum to collapse with our hi-jinks?
The puppy bed is still behind the bar... But it hasn't been used in way too long...

The triple marine varnished authentic antique swinging saloon doors hang from the doorframe as if hit with a battering ram...or a bomb!
Much of the comfortable furnishings are tossed about the room, some reduced to to little more than kindling.
The beautiful crystal goblets and glasses that helped sooth so many parched throats are now nothing more than shards of colorful glass scattered upon the bartop and the floor.
It's apparent to those who peek through the doorway that something terrible has happened here but the curious citizenry knows better than to enter and investigate. This is the playhouse of the powerful of Legion World. Anyone that would dare destroy it risks the ire of the massed might of the LMBP. One of them will be along soon for sure.
It's two owners alone, Semi-Transparent Fellow and Varalent, have enough power and prestige between then to protect this place on their own.
But Semi has been missing from Legion World for months on end and Vee....
...are those his legs someone spotted poking out from behind the bar?
And just what is that faint green haze that seems to be slowly drifting through the interior of SHAKES?
Too many questions and no answers in sight but the onlookers know one thing for certain. Things are about to heat up on Legion World!

What...who...? Semi-Transparent Fellow! Semi! No, no, he hasn't been around in weeks.
Varalent? Are you there? So hard to see...
<enters SHAKES>
I have to get back to my parole officer to get back to Takron-Galtos, or I'm toast. The LMB will never forgive me for my past crimes...but all I want is to be able to see my fiance Quis...

<tries to move towards the bar to see Vee's body>
Varalent, answer me, please! We are not friends, but I'd like to help you!
<green glow blinds him>
Can't see...with mask on...but I dare not remove it...need help...
I didn't even think if the danger is over, if the enemy is still here, waiting. Its what...I...would have done...

Ah, I see, you teleported in. Don't move him! I'm still not sure how he was attacked, and--
Wait, you don't think?
<backs away>
Of course you do.
<hand raises to belt, where old atomic axe once was. Realizes its no longer there. Lowers hand>
And I don't blame you.
Know this Lard Lad, this wasn't my work. I was passing by and came in to help. Because once...Vee and Semi were kind to me when few others were. I just came to help. Please...understand...

The green haze continues to ebb and flow slowly enveloping the entire room. There is an strange, eerie feel about it. Suddenly, there is a sharp CRACK! and the furniture, goblets and (most importantly) the triple marine varnished authentic antique swinging saloon doors are miraculously restored to their former glory.
Everything appears to be back to normal as if nothing had happened...except that Vee remains sprawled behind the bar...unmoving.

They'll blame this all on me. I know it. And I deserve it...for all I've done in the past...
B-but...this wasn't me. This was my last chance, and now I'll be blamed for someone else's crime!
Lard Lad, you might not understand--but you have no idea what its like when people look at you like some murderer. Or do you? Do you know what its like to be stigmatized like that?
<reaches out hand to take Lardy's hand>
*PUNCH!!!*
Not today, I'm afraid.
<picks up Vee's body>
But I won't be blamed for another murder and burn for someone else...
<escapes through doors with Vee>
The Emerald Eye must have fixed SHAKES and must be keeping him alive. But he appears to have no cuts on him. I need to get him to someone who would know... time to take it to the streets
Who could have the power to take down Vee? Someone dangerous indeed...

I have no idea what is happening here but this situation needs to be monitored closely.
The Security Office will be swarming over the place in a few minutes, late and useless as usual.
I'll just hang back and watch, just in case something pops out of the woodwork...
